Gorgeous place, tranquil and cozy

Charlie Choi

Beautiful spot

Karl McNamara

Had a great day.

Cabby Ken

Beautiful lil beach, tucked away and private. However, The lady running it could use a lesson or two in public relations . Incredibly rude and down right ignorant.

Chris Hazeldine

Beautiful campsites on the oceanfront

Matthew Phoenix

Great place to camp or to hang out

Patrick Guinan

This is a pretty special place.

Colin P (Aidivn)

Bill Crowder

D -

Beautiful area lots of places to walk.

jennifer hamilton

Great location..close to beach...

Shawn H

Drove in and out to launch a boat

Peggy Richardson

Nice little camping/picnicking site by the sea. It has many RV sites, a good sized covered area, a boat launch, and a fish cleaning station. The beach is predominantly rocky, with a few spots that are small pebble/ sandy. In the summer there is a tiny concession.

Jayne Boyer

The man and woman who is running the park, Peter and shelly, are a true delight making our stay a very pleasurable one.

Krista Fagan

Great location right by the ocean. Clean, quiet, no water or T. P. in the winter. Don't let that stop you.

Toni Lynn

Has some great tent sights just off the high water mark.

Becca

Lots of trails but the beach is all rocks

(Translated) Beautiful place to have a picnic, but not easy to swim (Original) Smukt sted at holde picnic, men ikke nemt at bade

We showed up late after arriving with the last ferry from Powell River. It was marked "Full" but fortunately the gentleman at the gate discovered there was a "no-show" and got us a marvelous spot for our campervan. The outhouse is the nicest and cleanest I have ever seen anywhere. It doesn't even smell bad in there. Be aware there are no showers or bathrooms. Nice day-picnic area. Many beachfront campsites, and the ones that aren't still have great views of the ocean. Small, friendly and inexpensive campground. Expect it to be full if no reservation during summer.

Linda Graham

Day use, picnic table, fire ring right on the ocean, beautiful

Alice Knott

Good walk at my childhood beach!

Fern Way of Life “or” Vancouver Island

We stayed in a small apartment next to this lovely pack.

Vernon Brewster

Awesome space. My first time here, but I can see it will be constantly changing with weather, season, & the incredible vision of the proprietor.

Gerry Bishop

Nice waterfront walk in the off season.

C M

Pretty rough and shallow boat lunch, but hey, it's close to the humps

Dan S

The smell of the sea, the view of the Sunshine Coast, the quiet. It's worth a half hour or so stop there.

Rocco Bellosta

Heard some awesome guitar. Luke Guthrie and Anela.

Silke Pfeifer

Beautiful coastal rainforest and a great tour at Kitty Coleman Woodland Gardens. Woodland Gardens now features an outdoor musical stage featuring musicians that perform bi-weekly at this super natural place. We were delighted to experience a musical performance by Hawaiian artists Anella and Luke Bluguthrie which was totally awesome! There will be repeat performances this season, so check back for dates. The gardens are stunning with the last rainfall and the wildlife viewing is even better. We revisited in June 20th. 2021

Mike Hodson

Just a nice place to enjoy the evening, and view Georgia Straight.

Matthew Piljek

Scenary and price can't get better. BRING YOUR OWN SHOWER. And POWER . 2 BOATRAMP S with no DOCKS.

Dan Lehr

Beautiful campground, well maintained. The group site is a great find as there are separate pads for each party in your group. Lovely local gem.

Tammy Schroeder

We didn't camp here but just stumbled across it while driving around. Amazing view and peaceful, if we were going on a camping trip this is the first place I'd think of to go.

Sushistew

Grest place but to small gor our rv.

Russell James

I went in the winter to check it out. Was really impressed of the size, the amount of campsites, the undercover Picknick area and the outhouses. Great place to go surfing. It’s a great place for a family. Enjoy

Lori Hurst

Great layout for camping excellent scenery

Blaine McMillan

The nature is breathtaking. I highly recommend a visit.

Sarah Grandinetti

Michelle Eigler

Excellent campground!

M Jkr

Love everything about this campground. I have had such a peaceful time here every time I stay here. Shelley and Peter are simply the best.❤️❤️????

Bev Knight

This beach is one of the nicest in the valley. Serene and quiet, a great place to bring your family, with easy walking trails and an unparalleled view. A popular spot to launch a boat, fish, camp along the shoreline, or to just spend the day. A must-visit if you are in the area.

steve fisher

Nice view!

Pete Quatrale

Rustic camping with beautiful ocean views however the beach is very rocky so not ideal for walking or swimming and the sites have no privacy. Too bad the campground does not take reservations.

Caro Ouellet

Great price of $15, but I think toilet paper could be included in the price (have to supply your own in the pit toilets in camping areas)!

aardvark lovers

I love most beaches and here is another

Marissa Eacott

Love it been going there all my life my great grandfather and great grandma and my nana were first on Whitaker RD in the early years when cabins and the putter boats launched on the putter ramp

Darcy Moss

Beautiful trail! Nice view!

Deanna Piquette

Absolutely gorgeous beach park. Great for day trips and boating as well as overnight camping. Tent sites are up on the hill so you get sun and a view from your site. A really stunning location makes up for lack of full washrooms, etc. We will be back!

Christine Reid

Amazing view. A beach in a valley surrounded by woods. Go from there.

Thomas Thomas

Everything was great just no shower????3 days was lovely though it's beautiful...

Bob

This is one of the finest campgrounds in all of south or central Vancouver Island. Beach front views, $15 a night, well taken care of. It puts everything else in the region to shame. Why 3 stars then? Because it is sardine packed like a private campground. There is maybe 10 feet of space between the side of your rig and the next rig. Anything less than 30 feet is unacceptable. 50 feet is preferable. I can't rate any sardines farm more than 3 stars. Also, there's no sun. Even the sunniest spots have a couple hours at best to give, so don't expect to get any power. Generator hours inexplicably run over lunch and end at 2pm, so there is no opportunity to boost over dinner. If you run out, you're done till tomorrow. The sites are also not entirely level. It's not super bad, but results may vary. With sardines there is never any such thing as peace and quiet. That said, I notice there are lots of older people here and that helps immensely. I've come in september specifically to avoid families so I can't speak for disaster season. Just that, for a campsite that commits the cardinal sin of packing sardines, it is fairly quiet. The sound of the waves and view really helps to boost this. This is an incredibly difficult region to find good camping. If you are stuck here and cannot just drive to the North Island or go to better parts of BC to camp, this is a solid option to soak in for a few.

Rick Kitsul

Most beautiful spot!! Caretakers are wonderful and helpful. Can't wait to go back!

Katherine Davis

No services but a lovely view. Pictures are of friends at a pot luck supper.

Gawain GB

No room... maybe on the way back.

Parry Harder

Great day .. launched the boat .. caught our limit.. good Fisher never tells where.. @!

heidi straume

Great fishing has two boat launches you pay daily or yearly. Camping is like parking lot camping in some areas there isn't any sand it's a rocky beach. There are no serviced sites but despite all that it's still a beautiful little spot. Out houses are very clean the cleanest I have ever used. Ice cream store for the kids cash only. You cannot reserve at this site you can stay 10 days than off for 4.

Sharren K. Grant

WiFi a little slow, but other than that nice view of Powell River. I am looking forward to a return visit. Keep your camera handy. I missed a pic of the cute little weasel that lives at the far end bridge.

Peter van kessel

Nice beach friendly staff good price lots of wild life

John F (The Frizone)

Greg Thompson

Beautiful view of the ocean

Rob Brown

Wonderful place to be

Keenan McCoy

Beautiful place to go camping right on the water but hard to get a camping spot. Busy with regulars.

Lorne Brazier

Beautiful place to visit and camp. Just remember to bring your own toilet paper and hand sanitizer! Fire pits are across from the campsites, lovely area with beach view and access right at your feet!

Branda Norris

Beautiful Place , been coming here as a kid now bring my family here as an adult!

Greg Philpott

Clean, great access to the sea, great views.

Stuart Morley

Good boat launch and decent camping

Allen Chizmadia

This boat launch requires two people. Shallow and open to both winds.

(Translated) Perfect place, even for a nice ride you can park near the campsite, walk there, cross deer, walk on the beach, relax. Possibility of campfires for campers, toilet ok, impeccable! (Original) Endroit parfait, même pour une belle balade on peut se garer près du camping, s'y promener, croiser des biches, marcher sur la plage, se détendre. Possibilité de faire des feux de camp pour les campeurs, toilettes ok, impeccable !

Treasured spot.

Chris Wouterlood

Dean Stewart

A1 for camping and ocean view

Linda Arsenault

Fantastic ! The view is incredible !

Frank Del Puppo

Love it here

Muriel Graham

Absolutely lovely camping

Momow

I love it

Bruce Richmond

A great place to camp in the summer. Reserve early as it does fill up especially on the holidays. Ensure your dogs are leashed.

Robin Arsenault

The price is right especially for being next to the ocean. The caretaker is very nice and keeps the campground very clean and has firewood if you need it. Unfortunately the campsites and the fire pits are really close to each other so it can be loud especially if your neighbours like to talk a lot and have dogs that bark at every moment.

Dylan Unrau

Many memories have been made here over the years. Campground staff have always been lovely.

Grant Macaulay

I was told you can see mountains from this beach. I felt lied to.

Cara McMinn

Incredible camping on the beach. Very well maintained. Competitive prices.

Magda Alexander

Nice and quite with beautiful vistas

ade whitmarsh

Nice beach. One you need to check out when on the north island.

TheDowest1

Nice waterfront provincial campground--beautiful views, but not much in the way of amenities (1 potable water tap, pit toilets with no toilet paper provided). Tight camping with firepits. $15 per night, so very reasonable. Good boat ramp ... No playground, but nice picnic area.

Roderick Verchere

Great

Ken Macdonald

Clean sites, great hosts and good value for what you get. 15$ per night and a great sunrise and sunset over the straight everyday.

Tyler Gagnon

Kitty Coleman is a wonderful ocean side camp with a sweet legend of a love story of kitty and her one true love Coleman.

Todd Stewart

Wonderful camp ground, beautiful view and trails, great caretakers. The only thing is the birds will wake you up as early as 4:30am. So good for early risers a tad annoing for sleeping in.

renaud maurin
